How do you view the status of wired network interfaces in Linux?

  1. iwconfig

  2. netstat

  3. ifconfig

  4. ipconfig

The correct answer is: ifconfig

To view the status of wired network interfaces in Linux, the command to use is "ifconfig". Option A, "iwconfig", is used to configure wireless network interfaces and is not the command to use to view their status. Option B, "netstat", is used to display network connections, routing tables, and network interface statistics, but it does not specifically show the status of wired network interfaces. Option D, "ipconfig", is a command used in Windows operating systems and is not available on Linux systems. Therefore, the correct answer is C, "ifconfig", as it specifically displays the status of wired network interfaces.
